The advantage of multiple possible states in the same space have to be set against the reliability and accuracy that each state can be measured. A huge advantage of single location, one of two values, digital systems is simplicity, but the downsides are as you mention. Analogue computing was how things were done for centuries and now we are returning to the idea with modern measurement methods. This is super exciting as a way to vastly increased low power compute. Thanks for sharing!
